Oh Mr Starmer … could things be any worse only 4 months in?

At dinner with a group of friends over the weekend I asked the table what good things the new government had achieved.

Putting money aside for the post office and blood scandals was the best we could come up with.

They may have put money aside, but they haven’t followed through with their pre-election promises of sorting them out as soon as they were in power,

Labour are just a poor imitation of the Conservative Party at their lowest point.

I expected more, but hey ho!

Domestically you’re nowhere to be seen. (I know, COP and saving the world jamboree). Your personal ratings have plummeted at -22. Your Chancellor is trying to defend the ‘change’ that Labour told us we needed - VAT on school fees, IHT changes, Net Zero, WFA stopped, inflation up from 1.7 to 2.4% - in your absence. To be honest I feel a bit sorry for RR. Firefighting for all she’s worth while her boss is halfway around the world. Now Starmer is telling us that he used to work on a farm….

Things just seem to be going from bad to worse for him. Buyer’s remorse anyone? Or is it jot early to tell 4 months in and he just needs more time?
